Aging compromises human islet beta cell function and identity by decreasing transcription factor activity and inducing ER stress
5 Oct 2022
Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic islet beta cells are essential for maintaining glucose homeostasis. To understand the impact of aging on beta cells, we performed meta-analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing datasets, transcription factor (TF) regulon analysis, high-resolution confocal microscopy, and measured insulin secretion from nondiabetic donors spanning most of the human life span. This revealed the range of molecular and...
